Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is I just received a legal threat over the phone about Yank Barry. Thank you. -- Atama頭 17:47, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Practically every word in the entire article has been discussed and re-discussed on the talk page. I would strongly suggest you find the appropriate section for the edits you are making and read and respond to the discussions about why things are phrased the way there are. Many editors have arrived on wikipedia for no other reason than to spin the Yank Barry article positively and you will find that adding yourself to that list will get a surprisingly quick response at this point. - Richfife (talk) 17:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Yank Barry. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. -- Atama頭 17:52, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Yank Barry shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- Atama頭 18:29, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
You have been warned by Wikipedia administrators

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. v/r - TP 18:49, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
This is ridiculous. This is the first time I have ever tried this. I had no idea what was going on for some time. How you came up with promotional from biography info, I'll never know. Seriously, you guys need to be less rude to people especially people just learning. If you are so "all seeing" you would know this was my first time at doing this. Plus, it didn't warrant 50 hateful emails. After this, I understand why people don't want to be editors here because of the few that think they are better than anyone else.

Decline reason:
Regardless of whether you are a new editor or a seasoned Wikipedia veteran, your edits added unabashedly promotional and non-neutral prose to the Yank Berry article, and when it was repeatedly explained to you that such material violated several Wikipedia policies, you continued regardless. In order for an unblock to be considered you will need to address the reasons for the block and explain how you will change you editing in order to avoid any future disruption. You can find additional information and advice at the Guide to Appealing Blocks. Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 19:45, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
You received multiple warnings and kept right on at it. How many ignored warnings do you consider OK? 10? 20? 100? - Richfife (talk) 19:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- BeadCatz, you need to address the issues that you have caused and the rules that you have broken. Bearian (talk) 13:33, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Promotional editing
editA note to whomever is behind the promotional editing at Yank Barry:
Understand what happens when you do this. Each time there's a complaint about promotional editing, it goes on notice boards. Other editors then add that article to their watch lists. By now, a large number of Wikipedia editors are automatically informed whenever someone edits the Yank Barry article. Any change to the article will be noticed. Through discussions on the talk page, citations have been found for most of the key facts, and a consensus has emerged on the major issues. Any edit which blatantly goes against that consensus is likely to be reverted within minutes. Making threats is even less effective. That draws even more attention to the article and its subject.
If you want to improve the article, give us more facts. Mr. Barry is a businesman with a long history of deals. Tell us more about them. We'd like to know more about VitaPro, Global Village Market, Jeuneesse, Propectin, Global Prosperity, The First International Bank of Granada deal, the People Against Tobacco Foundation, and the Degas sculptures deal. If you have positive information on those subjects, that could go in the article. It's not damaging to Mr. Barry's reputation that he does deals, some of which didn't come out too well. Donald Trump has two books ("The Art of the Deal" and "The Art of the Comeback") which discuss his sucessful and failed deals, and he has a reasonably good reputation. Stop trying to put a halo on Mr. Barry and things will go better. What you are doing is not working and is not going to work. Thank you. John Nagle (talk) 19:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
